To: 3 Troop, 2 SAS

INTENTION

-Price and I are going on board. If we are captured the Geneva convention won't help us. There's little doubt we will be executed as spies.

1. Objectives

a) To further cripple Battleship Tirpitz in preparation for pending RAF bombing missions.
-demolitions on the ship's boilers and radar systems
b) To recover patrol logs and documented orders indicating recent fleet movements of Kriegsmarine vessels.
-these are most likely on or near the bridge
INFORMATION

2. Enemy

a) Static defenses in area of operations.

Norwegian resistance reports ship undergoing repairs and damage appraisal near Tromsø. Skeleton crew reported, with majority of crewmembers on shore leave throughout Hakøya and Tromsø region.

b) State of alertness.

The enemy is preoccupied with anti-air defense. As they are aboard a heavily armed and escorted ship, their expectation of being boarded is likely to be low.

METHOD

3. Outline

a) The Norwegian resistance reports that a small watercraft is scheduled to transfer new officers to the Tirpitz from the Tromsø region, at 1900 hrs. Intercept it, liquidate the occupants, and take their place with the aid of forged documents and appropriate attire of rank supplied by SOE.
